Immigration levels in the UK are not too high, says the Labour leader | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
Jeremy Corbyn. But he says stopping the exploitation of workers would | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
probably bring down the levels of migration. I want to deal with the | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
worst aspects of exploitation first. Deal with that, that is a crucial | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
one, which also would improve working conditions for people in | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
this country as well. Mr Corbyn has also called for a cap on how much | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
people can earn, saying it would lead to a fairer society. Struggling | :00:36. | :00:57. | |
into work, hundreds of thousands of commuters across southern England | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
are hit by the latest three-day strike by Southern Rail drivers. A | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
15-year-old girl has been arrested after a seven-year-old girl was | :01:04. | :01:04. | |
found with life-threatening injuries in York and has died. Festive cheer | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
for Morrisons, as they record their best Christmas sales figures for | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
seven years. Getting bigger, the World Cup will expand to 48 teams in | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
less than a decade, as 16 more teams are allowed in. In sport, Johanna | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Konta's preparations for the Australian open go from strength to | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
strength. She is through to the quarterfinals of the Sydney | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
International. Good afternoon. The Labour leader | :01:20. | :01:45. | |
Jeremy Corbyn has told the BBC he doesn't believe that immigration in | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
the UK is too high. In a major speech, he is expected to suggest | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
that Labour is no longer wedded to the principle of freedom of | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
movement. When asked if he had changed his mind about the numbers | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
coming to the UK this morning, he said no. He also addressed the issue | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
of pay, saying he wanted to put a cap on the maximum amount people can | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
earn in the UK, to create a more equal society. Our political | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
correspondent reports. He has criticised the Prime Minister for | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
not having a plan for Brexit but he has been under pressure to set out | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
his stall. Today, he reached out for Labour voters worried about EU | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
immigration by saying his party wasn't wedded to freedom of | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
movement. In a BBC interview he didn't suggest any new restrictions, | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
so how would he'd tackle the level of unskilled immigration? Ending | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
exploitation of migrant workers, ending on cutting existing pay | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
conditions, and enforcing the workers directive, which describes | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
the way people are recruited to come to this country to undercut existing | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
working conditions. With this cut the number of EU migrants? It | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
probably means there would be fewer. Some in his own party said he should | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
be flagging up more specific policies. We have to be clear and | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
consistent about what our policy on immigration is. That's why it | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Stephen Kinnock and I'd put forward what was a well thought through | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
proposal about retaining preference for EU workers over non-EU workers | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
in order to get the best economic deal, but equally, there would be | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
restrictions and quotas in low skilled areas of work. The | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Conservatives are accusing Jeremy Corbyn of swiftly changing his | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
position on EU immigration. On the one hand it was trailed overnight in | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
the newspapers that the Labour Party were committed to ending freedom of | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
movement rules. By the time they hit the TV studios that had gone out the | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
window. Those close to Jeremy Corbyn said he wanted to catch the | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
antiestablishment mood sweeping through many Western companies. Not | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
exactly a left-wing Donald Trump but someone for those political weather. | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
He created a bit of a storm over his plans for those on high pay, too. I | :04:07. | :04:19. | |
would like to see a maximum earnings limit because I think that would be | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
a fairer thing to do. We can't set ourselves up as being a grossly | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
unequal, bargain basement economy, on the shores of Europe. We have to | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
be something that is more eager to her in. We don't think pay caps are | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
the way to run a modern economy. We don't think politicians know what | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
the correct level of pay is for the chief executive of a FTSE 100 | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
company which has hundreds of thousands of employees across the | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
world. Jeremy Corbyn won't be that bothered that his high-paid cap is | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
unpopular with business. His bigger challenge is to find policies that | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
appeal to Labour supporters who voted to remain in the EU, as well | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
as addressing the concerns of those who want to leave. | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
Our Assistant Political Editor Norman Smith is in Westminster. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
His interview today is being billed as a relaunch, how has it gone down | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
so far? With a good deal of head scratching, and confusion. Today was | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
meant to be the day when Mr Corbyn rebooted his leadership with a more | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
confident, popular, assertive leader, ready to take on the | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
Westminster village. Even his closest Shadow Cabinet colleagues | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
were taken by surprise by this idea of a pay cut. An absolute limit on | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
the top salaries some people could earn. Similarly, his attempt to | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
strike a more popular stance on Brexit, saying Brexit could be good | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
for Britain and that Labour was no longer wedded to freedom of | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
movement, confusion there, too. Because in interviews this morning, | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Mr Corbyn said, actually, I haven't changed my mind on immigration | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
freedom of movement. Yes, there might be tighter labour market rules | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
to stop EU workers undercutting British workers, but he shied away | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
from any changes to freedom of movement. Just figured measure, he | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
said he supported striking railway workers and would be happy to seen | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
on the picket lines at Southern Rail. Mr Corbyn's people are quite | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
relaxed. This is the new, unvarnished, confident Jeremy Corbyn | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
telling it as it is. They think he can ride the popular, | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
antiestablishment bandwagons we've seen in the Brexit referendum, and | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
over the Atlantic in the United States election. The fear of his | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
critics in the Labour Party, is that yes, he's getting the headlines all | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
right, but these are not the headlines a Labour leader should | :06:54. | :06:54. | |
want. Hundreds of thousands of commuters | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
in the south of England have struggled to get to work today | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
because of the latest strike The dispute - which has been | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
going on for nearly 10 months - is about taking away guards | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
and having driver only trains. Our transport correspondent | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
Richard Westcott is at East Croydon station - | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
how much of a service How much of a service has there been | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
today, Richard? It has been quite limited. It's a bit calmer. You can | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
see behind me. In rush hour this was a huge, snaking queue going hundreds | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
of meters down the side of the station. No Southern services today | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
so people were cramming on the services there were. This has been | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
rumbling on now for ten months and it's not just the strike days that | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
are bad, it's everyday. Drivers aren't working overtime, which is | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
essential to running a railway line. Cancellations, delays, every day. | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
Someone has got to step in to sort this out, people are saying | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
universally. It's becoming all too familiar. Realistically we aren't | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
going to get on this one so we'll wait for the next one. Commuters on | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
one of Britain's busiest rail lines, struggling through a strike. The | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
whole situation is a complete joke. Other like to know I'm going to end | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
up at my destination at a certain time. It's the uncertainty of being | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
able to say, I'll get back to meet someone, or might childcare or | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
something. Southern normally runs 2200 services a day, today they | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
managed 16. This is the queue just to get into East Croydon station. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
All of these people have been trying to get into London. It's about | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
8:45am. The queue snakes around a lot, and goes down the side of the | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
station, probably about 100 metres. It's taken me an hour to get to | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Croydon and now I've got to queue. I think we should all go on strike! | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
For nearly a year, they've been Rowling about changes to the role of | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
the on-board guard. Southern wants drivers to take over closing the | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
train doors. The unions say that threatens safety and jobs. Southern | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
says no one is losing their post, and the safety regulator is happy | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
with the changes. There's no of a breakthrough. -- no sign of a | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
breakthrough. This is a new million pound lab in Croydon. They moved | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
hundreds of staff here last year because of the train service. But | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Southern's drivers aren't working overtime at the moment, causing | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
delays and cancellations everyday. It's having a devastating effect on | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
staff. They are having to pay the extra childcare, their children | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
aren't safe getting home from clubs and school. They can't arrange | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
meetings, they're having arguments at home, they are feeling stressed, | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
tired and irritable. A number of people say they are getting more and | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
more stressed every day about whether they are going to get home, | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
or on time for their commitment that night. Back on board, several | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
commuters said this. The government need to do something about it. It's | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
ridiculous. So the BBC that the proper question to the Minister. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
What are you doing about it? Don't you have a duty to step in on | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
behalf... The government is engaged in trying to find a way to get this | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
issue resolved and we'll carry on doing that. In Merseyside, unions | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
are fighting similar plans to bring in driver only operated trains. It's | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
Southern today, but this issue threatens to spread across Britain. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
I said in that report, little sign of a breakthrough. I was talking to | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
the boss of Aslef last week, one of the two unions involved. I said, how | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
close are you to a deal when you are going into these talks with the | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
company? He said we are a universe apart at the moment. It's hard to | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
see how this whole dispute is going to be resolved. | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
Police have arrested a 15-year-old girl | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
in connection with the death of a seven-year-old child in York. | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
Police found the girl with life-threatening | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
injuries near a house in Woodthorpe yesterday afternoon. | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
Our correspondent Danny Savage is in York. | :11:16. | :11:24. | |
The seven-year-old girl was found at about 4:30pm yesterday, at the end | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
of an alleyway just behind me on the outskirts of York, just inside the | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
city's outer ring road. There has been a forensics tent there since | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
the incident last night. It has just gone down this morning. People have | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
been talking about the fact the girl's mother was one of the first | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
on the scene yesterday, she was on her knees in the street shouting and | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
sobbing about what had happened. After that, a 15-year-old girl was | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
arrested. The seven-year-old girl was attended to by police officers | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
and then taken to hospital. She died of her injuries a short time later. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
This morning, investigations have been ongoing. We know that a house | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
half a mile from here is currently with police vehicles outside it. We | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
believe that is connected to what happened here. The 15-year-old girl | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
is being questioned by police officers at the moment. Police have | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
been here to leave flowers, one message left reads, night night my | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
darling princess, love Nan and grandad. People are very shocked | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
about what happened here. Investigations are ongoing and | :12:40. | :12:39. | |
hopefully we'll know more later. Football's world governing body Fifa | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
has approved plans to expand The new format will be | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
introduced from 2026. The bulk of the additional slots | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
are likely to go to African Our sports news correspondent | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
Richard Conway reports from Fifa's Fifa has been set on clearing | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
a path to an expanded But from 2026, it will get its way, | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
with 48 teams joining the party. There's China coming | :13:05. | :13:13. | |
into the system, maybe in a couple of years India will also come | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
into the system. Once China comes into the system, | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
Thailand, Vietnam, any other country around it will also come up | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
with a better infrastructure, to bring countries that can also | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
have the chance to compete So how would a 48-team | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
World Cup work? The first round would see teams | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
divided into 16 groups of three. The top two countries would likely | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
qualify into the knockout rounds. From there, it's win or go home, | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
all the way to the final. All of which means the finalists | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
will play seven games in total, the same number under the current | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
format of 32 teams. With football now played | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
almost all year round, Europe's big club teams have | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
objected to any change. And there are others within | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
the sport who think the current If you get to the final, | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
you're still playing only seven But it's the early parts, where | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
you've got a lot of teams involved. Group stages, groups | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
of three, they are looking So the format is really strange, | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
and I think you probably need a lawyer or a mathematician, | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
an actuary, to actually work out It was 1998, the last time Fifa | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
added teams to the World Cup. Such moves generate | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
enormous extra revenues. Fifa will bring in ?800 million more | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
in 2026, as a result of this move. But with 211 members, | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
there is huge sporting and political There will be great opportunities | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
too for British teams to qualify. From a Scotland perspective, | :14:53. | :15:01. | |
it's good news, there's more However, it comes with a lot | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
of caveats, and I think those caveats are, with an expansion, | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
it is potentially travelling a far After a number of years when Fifa | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
was rocked by corruption scandals, its new leadership seems determined | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
to assert itself. But they must now convince critics | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
of the merit in reforming The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says | :15:23. | :15:41. | |

in this marketplace the team were to be congratulated at Morrisons. They | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
delivered it through improved customer service and making products | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
more available to the customers. No doubt about it, Morrisons was one of | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
the big winners this Christmas. Judging by new figures out today, | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
business was good for the supermarkets in general. Because | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
Christmas fell on a Sunday, we had a whole week to shop. And it was huge. | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
Round it all up, we spent ?480 million more on groceries than we | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
did last year for the 12 weeks to the end of December. That's growth | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
of nearly 2%. But for the first time in two years, prices rose by 0.2%. A | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
sign of things to come. Food sales helped deliver a solid December for | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
the retail sector overall. It was a goodish end to a roller-coaster | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
year. Retail sales across the whole of 2016 grew more slowly than they | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
had done in the previous year. That raises more questions in the minds | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
of consumers and retailers as to what the outlook for 2017 might be | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
shoppers left it late than ever this year but we did spend. The question | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
is were we continue to do so in 2017? | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
Tens of thousands of patients waited on trolleys at NHS hospitals | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
in England during the first week of the new year - according | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
Across 131 Trusts, 18,435 patients waited for more than four | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
Our health editor Hugh Pym is here. | :20:53. | :21:03. | |
with health secretary Jeremy Hunt's comments yesterday that most | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
hospitals have been coping well with winter pressure? | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Yes, a lot of stories in the last few days about the NHS in England | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
struggling with the pressures. At this time of year, there is always | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
very high patient demand, particularly after the New Year | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
holiday with people going into hospital having held off over the | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
holiday season. Even so, this is a service under extreme pressure. The | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
Red Cross said at the weekend there was a humanitarian crisis in health | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
and social care, although that was strongly denied by the government. | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
Jeremy Hunt in the Commons yesterday said there was unprecedented | :21:42. | :21:54. | |
demand. The NHS has seen record days, but he said broadly speaking | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
it was coping well. Figures leaked to the BBC from inside the NHS, | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
covering the first week of January, show that on one particular gauge, | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
the NHS was really struggling and not coping well. That is over | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
so-called trolley waits, the length patience will have to stay having | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
been admitted because there is no bed available, and the particularly | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
serious situation when you have to wait more than 12 hours. The figures | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
leaked to the BBC showed there were 485 waiting over 12 hours in the | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
first week of the year compared to last January, when only 158 | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
patience. -- patients. Mr Hunt said only one or two trusts were under | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
extreme pressure, but this seems to be rather at odds with that, with | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
quite a few hospitals having to keep patients on trolleys before they | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
could be formally admitted. Thank you. | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
A senior unionist politician has said Northern Ireland is facing | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
a "prolonged period" of direct rule from Westminster, | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
following the resignation of the deputy first minister, | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
It came after weeks of tensions between his party and their partners | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
in the power-sharing government, the Democratic Unionists. | :22:59. | :23:00. | |
Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Page is in Stormont. | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
Is there any way this crisis can be resolved? | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
There have been previous crisis situations here at Stormont over the | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
last few years, when devolution has teetered on the brink but has | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
survived. However I don't think that is going to happen this time. | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
Northern Ireland is effectively without a devolved government, | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
Martin McGuinness' resignation as Deputy First Minister yesterday | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
effectively put the First Minister Arlene Foster out of her job because | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
they were enjoyed office. Positions have hardened today, politicians are | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
openly talking about preparing for the election campaign they think is | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
coming. If there is an election and the DUP and Sinn Fein are returned | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
again as the largest parties, it doesn't look as if they would go | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
back into government with each other straight away, because the | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
disagreement between them is so serious. So we could be into complex | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
negotiations. Today the senior Democratic union MP Sir Jeffrey | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
Donaldson said he thinks Northern Ireland is facing a prolonged period | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
of direct rule from Westminster because he can't see devolution | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
getting back up and running in a short period of time. But Sinn Fein | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
have said it would be unacceptable in their eyes if Westminster were to | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
take over running Northern Ireland like that. The Northern Ireland | :24:16. | :24:18. | |

into the remarkable behaviour If you think they've got 90-95% | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
the same DNA as humans, We've seen it, working at Chester | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
zoo with these animals, The different cultures | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
of chimpanzees have So it's certainly not new to find | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
chimpanzees using tools. The animals are already known to use | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
sticks to fish for termites and to dip into beehives for honey, | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
but the researchers were particularly impressed by how well | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
crafted these drinking tools were. Chimps selected and stripped long | :29:10. | :29:12. | |
thin sticks and chewed the ends And for captive breeding | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
programmes like this one, zoos have to understand these | :29:17. | :29:23. | |
natural behaviours to keep the animals as mentally | :29:24. | :29:25. | |
stimulated as possible. And then we give them an area | :29:26. | :29:28. | |
where they keep honey, And they have to use their sticks, | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
make them into a certain way so they can put the stick | :29:34. | :29:39. | |
in the hole and get the food out. It's all gone very quiet | :29:40. | :29:43. | |

much more we have to learn A look at the weather with Louise. | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
Some chilly weather heading our way. A lot to get in this forecast, some | :30:15. | :30:34. | |
of it quite severe. Here and now, pretty dull out there. A lot of | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
cloud, the best breaks have been to the east. A weather front is moving | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
in and producing cloud and like patchy drizzle, nothing more. A | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
quiet afternoon for many of us. Relatively mild. Temperatures will | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
peak at highs of around 8-11d. As we go through the latter stages of the | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
day and overnight, we start to see the severe weather. It arrives in | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
the far north-west, with severe gales developing across Scotland, | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
bringing heavy rain for a time, turning increasingly wintry, perhaps | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
on higher ground through the night. Further south, we keep a lot of | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
cloud and outbreaks of drizzle, but not quite as cold. As we go into | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
tomorrow, the wind is going to be the real cause for concern. So we | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
have got this travel warning. Be prepared if you are driving high | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
sided vehicles, severe gales perhaps likely across Scotland. 625 mph | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
gusts of wind, frequent showers which will turn increasingly wintry | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
at lower levels. -- 65 five miles per hour. Potential across the peaks | :31:40. | :31:45. | |
and Pennines of 65-70 mph gusts. Much of England and Wales, | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
relatively quiet. A few light showers across west facing coasts. A | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
windy start, but not bad, sunny spells coming through but it stays | :31:55. | :31:58. | |
windy to the showers will turn increasingly wintry at lower levels. | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
It will feel pretty cold into the far north, 3-4 degrees. 6-7 further | :32:03. | :32:09. | |
south. Blizzard conditions as we go through the night on Thursday. Some | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
accumulation will start to gather across lower levels, Scotland, maybe | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
Northern Ireland for a time. Relatively more miles down to the | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
south-west. A front bringing some rain as we push into the south-west. | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
This could be interesting, as it moves south west, we could see some | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
heavy rain, particularly across channel facing coasts and the M4 | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
corridor. The potential for some snow in the higher grounds and the | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
hills of Wales, the Midlands and maybe the Home Counties, but it is | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
mostly rain south of that. A windy and cold day, particularly when you | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
factor in the strength of the wind in Scotland, -3 or 4 degrees. The | :32:48. | :32:53. | |
low pressure will move out of the way on Friday. Things a little more | :32:54. | :32:57. | |
quiet on Friday. It stays cold, so we could still have the risk of | :32:58. | :32:58. | |
wintry showers. A reminder of our main | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
